6 20% OFF-THE-JOB LEARNING Since the introduction it is a requirement of the new style Apprenticeships that every apprentice spends at least 20% of working time dedicated to off-the-job learning. Here is an example of a typical month: 1 day attendance once/twice a month at a workshop (for the first 8 10 months only - after that, we offer remote support/assessment visits, circa 6 hours per month) 4-5 hours project work per week 8-10 hours of self-study/reading per month Up to 1 shadow day per month to support personal development areas For more information Please contact us: apprenticeships@uk.gt.com ACTIVATE BUSINESS SCHOOL Technology Campus, Cuddesdon Way, Oxford, OX4 6HN Keep up to date: Activate Apprenticeships Our sample month covers a total of 43 hours per month. This would cover more than the required 20% taking into consideration holidays, sickness and later months where there will be no workshops. After month 1, the 1:1 meetings with the line manager can take just 1 hour per month to monitor progress. The participant can top-up the 20% with extra self-study, sector specific webinars, conferences and/or audiobooks, in accordance with guidance from the skills coach. (Functional skills may be additional time to build in, if required, outside of the core 20% off-the-job learning.) Eligibility Programmes are open for candidates who are already working in a managerial role: from supervisors or team leaders to senior managers. You must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level than this apprenticeship in a similar subject. 20% OFF-THE-JOB LEARNING
